Grizzly G8794 instruction manual Clean up Site Considerations

Clean up Site Considerations

The table surface has a protective film on it which must be peeled away. The cutterhead surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from corrosion during shipment. Remove this protec- tive coating with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser such as Grizzly’s G7895 Degreaser. The cutter knives are extremely sharp, use great caution when cleaning those areas. Avoid chlo- rine-based solvents as they may damage painted surfaces should they come in contact. Always fol- low the usage instructions on the product you choose for clean up.

Many of the solvents commonly used to clean machinery can be highly flammable, and toxic when inhaled or ingested. Always work in well-ventilated areas far from potential ignition sources when dealing with solvents. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environmen- tal hazards. Keep children and animals safely away when cleaning and assembling this machine.

Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents to remove this protective coating. These products generally have low flash points which makes them extremely flamma- ble. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur.

The cutterhead knives on the G8794 planer are extremely sharp. Merely brushing your finger along the edge can result in a severe cut. Take extreme caution when doing any of the adjust- ments involving the cutterhead knives. Wear thick gloves anytime it is necessary to manu- ally rotate the cutterhead assembly.

The Model G8794 is designed to be portable. There is a carry handle located on the top of the planer, as well as handles on both sides of the planer to aid in lifting and moving. Before moving the planer, fold the extension wings up and ensure that the power cord is disconnected and stored beneath the wing on the cord storage loop.

1.Working Clearances: Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a loca- tion for your planer.

2.Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and pre- vent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle amperage requirements. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are clear of high-traffic areas. Observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.
